“Twenty first century folk for twenty first century folk” ’
Ows tha doin cocker? Here’s some reet gradely stuff about everyone’s favourite North West folk singers the Lancashire Hotpots.
As we all know, the ‘Hotpots’ like Prestwich Hospital, are a long established Lancashire institution. They have been singing songs about the traditions and people of Bolton, Preston, Wigan and St Helens for nigh on 30 crackin’ years.
I’m sure thas all remembers back in’t 70s they had their legendary TV show ‘Shut Thi Trap’, just after Look North West, when Stuart Hall was on it wi John Mundy. There they’d sing the songs from't past that the owd ‘uns all sing along to. Eee, I remember it well, all’t classics such as
‘Down’t Pit, Down’t Mill, Down’t t’hole int’ ground’
‘Favver, has tha seen me cap?’
‘Ee, I think thas got rickets!’
’Giz Six pints o’mild, I’is planning to get ratted’
In recent times there’s bin a change of line up fert Hotpots which has seen the arrival of three new members Dicky Ticker, Bernard Thresher and Bob Wriggles. This injection of young blood has seen a change of direction fert group who have decided ter embrace the young ‘uns and try and get them into our traditional music. It’s hard getting them to listen mind, one minute they want folk on, the next minute its folk off!!
So the lads has written them a new style of folk song just fer them. Its “twenty first century folk for twenty century folk” they say and they hope all young ‘uns across thi land will enjoy their new sound!
T'hotpots can recommend those Emmet lads if tha fancies a bit o' that rumpy thumpty dance music.

I know broadbands cheap
But you're cheaper
Listen to this
You were up all night on t'internet
Downloading naughty films
But theres one vital thing you didn't do
Now your whole hard drive is up the wall
Oh a trojan horse has entered
A worm is in C drive
I told you all about McAfee
It hasn't taken long
And now I've written you this song
Before you wit' download is what for dee?
Get thee sen a firewall
Ger thee sen internet security
Get thee sen a firewall
Download one for free
Now theres so many x-rated pop-ups
You can hardly bloomin' think
With every X click you get five more
Your desktop needs a tidy
It'll take till a week next Friday
And wifes here now she wants to talk on Skype
So you tried delete your history
And get rid of all cookies
Calm down your getting sweaty
Whats the rush?
You've left it all too late
Your shared folder was an open gate
Gone and got yourself a big virus
I told ya
Should have had a firewall
Should have had internet security
Should have had a firewall
Download one for free

The song starts with the singer addressing someone who is using the internet excessively and not being careful with their internet security. The singer then goes on to describe the consequences of not having a firewall or internet security, such as downloading a trojan horse or a worm, which ultimately results in the crashing of the hard drive. The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of having a firewall and internet security, and the need to download them for free.
The lyrics of The Firewall Song are witty and humorous, but they also underscore the importance of internet security in today's world where a lot of people use the internet for various purposes. The song is an entertaining way of educating people about the risks associated with using the internet without proper security measures in place. It also highlights the importance of being cautious, staying informed, and taking the necessary precautions to stay safe online.
